Bye bye, Matt Gibbons!
Well thats the end of my five day placement with Mike and it has been very useful indeed
Mike McFarlane is a landscape photographer, who after living in many parts of the UK has returned to the North East of England. Fascinated by the beauty of the light and land, especially the coast, his work shares this beauty with others. Mike’s landscape photography covering Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, County Durham, Teesside, Yorkshire, Scotland, UK and Europe is available in galleries nationwide and is used commercially.
In 2006 I started visiting White Lea Farm near Easington on the Durham Heritage Coast. The area was once a major source of coal, but when the pits closed, both people and land were left in difficulty. The farm and surrounding coast are now owned and managed by the National Trust.

One of the great things about showing my work at exhbition and on the web is that I talk to a lot of other photographers, many of whom are beginners and want to improve their art. I’m often asked “how can I take better photographs?” or “is there a good course/tutor?” or that holy grail question “I want to be a professional photographer, how do I do it?”. I will try to answer the first two questions in this article, and the last about professional photography in a seperate article.

I’m used to bad weather in the mountains, but getting my tent destroyed by a storm whilst camping in them is a new and scary experience.

There are a lot of photography sites on the internet. Check fotoritim.com out. It’s a cracker.
